Departmental Seminar Series
Coordinated by Dr. Charles Shoemaker
The departmental seminars are held at noon on the
third Thursday of each month from September through May. This series
complements the current monthly noon seminars presented by outside
speakers. Participation (both attendance and presentation) is welcomed
from all faculty, postdocs, and staff members associated with the
veterinary school. The goal of these seminars is to promote communication
and awareness regarding clinical and basic science research being
done by individuals within the veterinary school.
The presentation environment is informal. Lunch is
provided as an attendance incentive. Presentations are attended
by a diverse selection of individuals including clinicians and basic
scientists with a variety of expertise areas (immunology, microbiology,
molecular biology, etc.). Thus, presenters are expected to gear
their presentations toward an intelligent lay audience so that everyone
attending can understand and follow the material throughout the
seminar.
Anyone associated with the veterinary school is welcome
to present during the upcoming academic year. If you have sufficient
current data or findings associated with your research that could
be or already is packaged into a suitable presentation and are interested
in sharing it with your colleagues, please let me know by replying
to charles.shoemaker@tufts.edu.
